Modern Georgian

Once a Georgian worker’s cottage, this recently renovated home has been brought into sparkling 21st-century style with a cool modern touch. Located in Islington, the area’s elegance is reflected in the stylish minimalism that defines this four-floor home. The lower ground floor boasts an enormous kitchen and dining area with double doors that lead out onto a sunny south-facing garden – the ideal spot for celebratory alfresco meals. The upper ground floor is taken up by the bright living room where shelves stacked with books and a large comfortable sofa invite you to kick back and relax over a glass of wine while enjoying the light pouring in through the sash windows. Onto the next floor and you’ll find two stylishly pared-back bedrooms – one of which has an en-suite rainfall shower that feels spa-like in its luxuriousness – while the master bedroom on the top floor has a roll-top bath that beckons blissful soaks with a glass of bubbly after a day of exploring the city on foot. Factor in the additional sun terrace – the perfect place for morning coffees and romantic sundowners – and you're all set for a relaxing stay. Outside of your home, Islington is bursting with cute cafes and shops to discover and Regent’s Canal is a twenty-minute walk away for long afternoon ambles. Elsewhere, trendy Dalston is walkable in thirty minutes, as is King’s Cross and Granary Square.
